Since some time I am working on a new and quite big project, a comic book about one of the greatest musicians and artists of our times, Nick Cave. To keep you all informed about the ongoing of the book, me and my dear friend Johnny Häusler made a website where I will post sketches, illustrations and news from and around the book.

Now available in Germanys bookstores is my new book about the Somali sprinter Samia Yusuf Omar, who competed in the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 and died unfortunately in 2012 while crossing the mediterrenean sea to reach Europe.

In Toronto I met Alan Haft, the son of the "Boxer". We had a panel discussion at the Jewish Community Center, which was organized by the Goethe Institute Toronto.

Alan explains a lot about the background of the story, the impact that his fathers fate had on the family.

For the celebration of the UK edition of "the Boxer" I will come to London from 6th to 7th of March. There will be a presentation of the book with Paul Gravett at the Goethe Institute London on Thursday evening:

On the book fair in Rio de Janeiro I had the opportunity to present my book about Hertzko Haft in a beautiful edition in a portuguese translation by Augusto Paim by my brasilian publishing house 8inverso.
